Overview

The Network Security Crypto Accelerator is a hardware IP core platform that accelerates cryptographic operations in System-on-Chip (SoC) environment on FPGA or ASIC.

This IP is used to accelerate/offload MACsec, IPsec, VPN, TLS/SSL, disk encryption, or any other custom application, requiring symmetric cryptography algorithms. The operations are efficiently offloaded via a built-in scatter-gather DMA optimized to handle networks packets of any size.

The Network Security Crypto Accelerator can also be combined with our Integrated Secure Element/Root of Trust module to form a complete secure enclave, that will handle the keys without exposing them to the software.

General description

The platform integrates your desired selection of our cryptographic IP cores, a DMA and software layers providing a complete solution.

Bringing IPsec into the Quantum Safe Era

Over the next five years, all security protocols and public key cryptography will undergo a comprehensive overhaul to ensure quantum safety. This represents the most significant change in these domains since the advent of public key cryptography.

How to design secure SoCs, Part V: Data Protection and Encryption

In today’s connected world, where data is a crucial asset in SoCs, Part V of our series explores how to protect and encrypt data, whether at rest, in transit, or in use building on our earlier blog posts of the series: Essential security features for digital designers, key management, secure boot, and runtime integrity.

Cryptography Does Not Equal Security

At Rambus, we often receive RFIs, RFPs and RFQs for security silicon IP cores to be used in our customer’s next semiconductor product. Such requests often contain a long shopping list of required cryptographic algorithms, their modes of operation, their key lengths or strengths and performance and sizing requirements.
